You are correct. This forum was the first to employ a "Moderated" system, and it took a lot of criticism for that. But the board stuck to its beliefs. You're right to say it paved the way for others and this board deserves ALL of the credit for breaking people away from the rmmb mentality of rock-throwing and mud-slinging. Dunsire may have dealt a killing blow to the rmmb, but that was only after this forum had the rmmb against the ropes with a standing 8 count!
Personally, I visit both here and Dunsire's everyday. Both have their value. Although I do wish traffic was higher here.
